Great value, lightweight showerproof that’s made in Britain

This made-in-Britain showerproof jacket from Lusso offers just about all the qualities you need in a spring top.

It’s light (just 166g for the large), folds into a very small package, has mesh venting in the sleeves and sides, and is perfectly shaped for cycling, with a high neck and a long back.

It won’t stop you getting wet in prolonged downpours, but for April showers it’s ideal. It ﬁts in your back pocket and it’s easy to wash too. Another winner from Lusso.

Product "10292" does not exist or you do not have permission to access it.
